Kidnapped

Chapter 26: The Argument

Clay POV
I wake up to a blinding light and the sound of people shuffling in their covers. I squint my eyes open to try and adjust to the light.

"Come on fuckers it's 10am" George says, getting everyone awake. I check my phone to see it is in fact a few minutes past 10.

I look over to George who was already dressed, a darker undertone under his eyes and his hair messy.

The shorter brunette stood beside him holding his hand. They both looked like they were about to leave.

"Cereal is in the cupboard so help yourself, you lot decide where we're eating for lunch and pick us up on your way" George says, most of us hardly awake enough for a conversation.

"Where are you going?" Karl asks, sitting up next to a still sleeping Nick.

"Shopping, try not to leave too much of a mess" he says, taking Tubbo to the door and leaving.

I could tell by all of our faces we weren't comfortable in letting him out by himself but still none of us wanting to over step any boundaries.

I got up in a desperate need for coffee, boiling the kettle before getting changed.

George POV
It had only been one night and I still felt suffocated in that house. I love having my friends there but I just feel like they don't know how to act.

Like they could say or do the wrong thing with a snap of a twig and I would freak.

In all honesty I was still learning my triggers myself, although I was just avoiding them all together.

Town wasn't too far from my house, it was a 20 minute walk but I wanted to feel the air.

Once we reached town I take us to a clothing store, taking a trolley and putting Tubbo into the trolley itself as he was too big for the seat.

After trying him in a few things I figured out his size which made it much easier to shop now.

I picked some items that both Tubbo and I liked, I bought a couple pairs of shoes, socks, hoodies, shirts, shorts, joggers, jeans, underwear and I even bought him a couple hats.

After finishing buying the rest of the clothes he would need, we picked up a toothbrush and extra toothpaste.

"Hey Tubbo, is there anything else you want?" I ask, and he looks around, almost squished amongst the stuff in the cart.

"Can I get a toy?" He asks and I give him a warm smile. "Lets go look at the toys then shall we?" I say, pushing the cart down the toy section.

I helped Tubbo out of the cart so he could look at his options, I then feel my phone vibrate in my pocket.

I check to see Clay's message pop up on my screen.

Dream: We are waiting in the town car park, do you want us to come to you?

George: We should be done soon, give us like 15 mins?

Dream: Sounds good, we decided on the old restaurant we used to all go to

George: Okay, sounds good

"I want this one!" Tubbo shouts and I put my phone back in my pocket, walking over to him.

He had found a Minecraft bee plushie, I knew bees were one of his favourite things.

I put it into the trolley and take his hand, leading us to the checkout.
